3Sum Goes out Tomorrow!

Our plan is a role-reversal - Lisa is going to back the boat out and I'll handle the docklines. Lisa will kick out the amas and raise the mainsail. Should be interesting. We may even try a MOB drill.

3Sum and Lisa taking the Lift on the shakedown cruise

I added this cheesy banjo music because the mike on my camphone made it sound like we were going through a Force 12 gale. When I shot this, we hit some gusts upwards of 26 knots, but no heeling. Actually, it was quite stable, fast and not too unnerving. It was the first time 3Sum had been on the water in about 2 years!

Clever little design.

I found this on another of my favorite blogs and thought I would post it here as well. This is a site for exchanging goods and services for the cruising community. Desperate Sailors

Captain Hook and Paralympicteamcaptainhook.org

We finished sailing and I saw the van behind us sporting MN license plates and a Wayzata Yacht Club sticker. I went over and introduced myself to Bert Foster, Captain Hook himself of the paralympics team. They have a pretty cool website at:
